\"RentReporters\"<\/a>Rent is often the biggest expense of a renter\u2019s budget. And renters can now use these on time payments to improve their credit score, thanks to a new integration between Rentec Direct and RentReporters. This new feature gives Rentec Direct landlords and property managers an easy way to improve their tenants\u2019 credit and enhance their renter relationships.<\/p>\n

Rentec Direct and RentReporters<\/h2>\n

Rentec Direct is now fully integrated with RentReporters, allowing you to automatically report your residents\u2019 rent payments to 2 of the major credit bureaus. This new feature will help your tenants improve their credit score by an average of 40 points<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How does the Rentec Direct and RentReporter integration work?<\/h2>\n

Your tenants simply sign up for RentReporters in their Tenant Portal, and then Rentec Direct will automatically report up to 2 years of rent payment history from your account. Rentec Direct will automatically provide RentReporters with ongoing payment data so there is no work for the property manager.<\/p>\n

Prior to this integration, if your tenant wanted to report their rent payments to credit bureaus, you would have had to work directly with RentReporters and manually report rent payment details each month. Now the process is automatic and streamlined for you.<\/p>\n
